Create A Hierarchy Based On A User Controlled Attribute

Creating a hierarchy for an attribute lets you see your data summarized by that attribute by making the attribute available as a level that can be included in rows / columns of a view. Data imported into the attribute will populate the hierarchy/level created off the attribute. Use the new level in rows or columns of a view as you would any other level.

1.   Click User Controlled Attribute in the Admin Utilities view group.

2.   In the User Controlled Attribute list window, select the attribute you previously added and click Edit .

3.   Select “Yes” for Create Hierarchy property when the attribute opens in the User Controlled Attribute Maintenance window.

4.   Enter a name for the hierarchy and its level. The names must be different than the attribute on which they are based.

5.   Save  the changes. You are returned to the list window where the change shows with a Pending Updates status of Yes. The hierarchy and level will be added and available in Stratum.Viewer after the next Full process occurs in Stratum.Connector. Contact your Stratum administrator for information about when the next Full process is scheduled

Note: Steps above show how to edit an attribute you already added to create a hierarchy from it. You also can create the hierarchy when first adding the attribute. See Add A User Controlled Attribute To Stratum.
